Figul dips his spear in deep, poling the raft to the other shore, but everything then goes wrong for them. One of the rats slips on the wet, watersprayed makeshift deck and falls into the water with a scream. He is swept away toward the small ford, doomed to perish. Hooklag and a stoat named Facauld dash back toward Redfang and the others, hoping and praying that the enemy don't see the rat's body go by, thus detecting that they are trying to cross upstream.
